China-Europe Railway Express

Founding&Business

The China-Europe Railway Express refers to the container international railway intermodal train that runs between China, Europe, and countries along the Belt and Road route according to the conditions of fixed trains and routes.

In March 2011, the first China-Europe Railway Express departed from Chongqing to Duisburg, Germany, marking the beginning of the innovative development of China-Europe Railway Express.

The logistics organization of China-Europe Railway Express is becoming more and more mature, the economic and trade exchanges between countries along the trains are becoming more and more active, and the cooperation between railways, ports, customs and other departments between countries is becoming more and more close. It played an important role in transforming the Silk Road from the original “trade road” into an “economic belt” where industries and population agglomerated.
